A home made ad for Barack Obama - vote Obama in 08! The best clips from the 2004 Democratic National Convention, the speech that made Barack Obama a household name.

You Decide. Barack Obama 08

As much as we can be sure that history can, does, and is presently repeating itself, so we can also be sure that there are those who will rise to the challenge of facing that which those before us had to face. Robert Kennedy was on a path to greatness when he was gunned down in 1968. And it was with his death that we perhaps said farewell to an era when so many men tried to make this nation better. However, we cannot be so synical that when such a man appears again we cannot see him. Barack Obama is on the path, and if we let him, he will bring this nation back to greatness. He is our best and only Hope. Featuring "Raise Yer Head" by The Dharmas and "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love) by Jay-Z [Explicit Lyrics].

So I cut this labor-of-love-fan-made-video to another Joey Beats track and some music from Hotel Rwanda with excerpts from Don Cheadle & John Prendergast's book "Not On Our Watch". Maybe it'll do some kinda good...

"Why Obama?" Three brothers share theirs tory. Joe Bergevin watched Senator Barack Obama tell a story about one person, Edith Childs, who energized others with a "fired up, ready to go," chant at one of his campaign stops. Inspired by Obama's "One voice can change the world" speech, Joe wrote some lyrics and rough chords then called his brother Jon to help him compose and arrange the song. They named it after Edith's chant. After many phone calls, emails, and sleepless nights, they had assembled the team. Ten days later an epic recording was born with the intention of spreading Obama's hopeful message. Contributors include lead singer Reverend Pat Wright and her renowned Total Experience Gospel Choir, drummer Matt Cameron from Pearl Jam, lead singer Jake Bergevin, other top studio musicians, sound engineers, video teams, photographers, caterers, local news teams and a renovated theater with recording studio. From the first word written to the last note performed, this entirely donated and collective effort demonstrates Senator Obama's unifying message and Americans' desire to act on it. We were in awe of how freely people said, "Yes!" to this project. His words "For that is our unyielding faith-that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country, can change it" demonstrate that great leaders motivate others. Barack is a great leader. "I would have never imagined participating in an event like this, suddenly having a bunch of people come together on behalf of a political candidate; contributing immediately, so fully and unconditionally," said Stephan Schier, one of the project contributors. Edith Childs said in the Greenwood Index Journal "I just had no idea that something done spontaneously would go this far -- in a good way," Childs said. "But as far as the song, I think it's cool. And I'm going to go online and see the (music) video when it comes out. But look, I did (the chant) in June, and I had no idea this is where we'd be on January 25."
